Story
Listen up, folks! It`s time to meet the one and only Tj, the black and white charmer of the Australian Shepherd mix world! This pup has got the looks, the personality, and a whole lot of spunk to boot.Tj may only be a year and two months old, but he`s already mastered the art of leash walking. He struts his stuff with such finesse that you`ll feel like you`re walking with a canine model on a fashion runway. And let`s not forget about his love for treats - this pup will do just about anything for a tasty snack. Just be prepared for some serious puppy dog eyes and a tail wag that could power a wind turbine.But Tj`s charisma doesn`t stop there. He`s a social butterfly who adores the company of other dogs. Whether it`s a game of fetch, a friendly wrestle, or a good old-fashioned belly rub session, Tj knows how to have a doggone good time. He`s the life of the doggy party, always ready to make new furry friends and spread the joy wherever he goes.Weighing in at approximately 54.00 lbs, Tj is the perfect combination of cuddly and compact. He`s got just the right amount of fluff to snuggle up with on a lazy Sunday afternoon, but he`s also agile enough to join you on all your outdoor adventures. With Tj by your side, you`ll have the best of both worlds - a loyal companion and a four-legged bundle of love.Now, here`s the scoop - Tj has been hanging out at the shelter since Nov 19, 2023. But fear not, my friends, because he`s currently living it up in a foster home while he patiently waits for his forever family. This lucky pup is experiencing all the joys of a temporary home, complete with comfy couches, tasty treats, and endless love.So, if you`re ready to add a dash of excitement and a whole lot of wagging tails to your life, head on over to the shelter and meet Tj. Get ready for an adventure filled with laughter, puppy kisses, and memories that will last a lifetime. Adopt Tj, and brace yourself for a whirlwind of fun, mischief, and a love that`s as wild as the Australian Outback. Trust me, folks, this pup is the real deal - a one-of-a-kind companion who will steal your heart faster than you can say `fetch!`

Story
Help!! Taco is a wonderful dog that is affectionate, loyal and well behaved. He is a great travel companion and also a great guard dog. He loves long walks on the beach, cuddles by a fire or while binging on Netflix and he’s great for emotional support! Unfortunately, we can not give him the love and attention he needs or deserves due to welcoming a little one of our own. It breaks my heart making this decision, but he deserves someone that’ll give him 100% of their attention!

Sweet Murray! This boy is a one year old tricolor Aussie, very striking looking and as loving as he is gorgeous. Not only is he handsome; he's also easygoing and loving. He's basically a big goofy older puppy. Murray plays really well with other dogs. He's also a lover with people. He's probably too rowdy for little kids. And we don't know how he is with cats. Murray is vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and ready to be your best friend!

Story
Rowan is a 6 year-old, purebred, red merle Australian Shepherd. He is a beautiful blue-eyed boy who we adopted in 2018 from some close friends of ours. Rowan is an extremely smart, loyal, obedient, and loving dog who struggles with situational reactivity and aggression. In a few cases now, this has escalated to nips and bites. My husband and I recently moved from Michigan to Santa Barbara so that I can pursue my PhD at the University of California, and are living in an apartment complex. Unfortunately, Rowan is struggling to adjust to apartment life. We now have a very small outdoor space and he is constantly reacting to other people/dogs walking by outside. We are really hoping to find him a new home where he can thrive and his behavioral problems can be safely managed. He does really well with boarding/daycare- he loves the staff and is able to be around other dogs just fine. Rowan does not come without his challenges, but he is an affectionate goofball who will love you forever.

These pups are in Santa Barbara, California too!

Story
We get many dogs here at the shelter that have had a rocky start to life. And for plenty of them, you can tell right away. Not with Sheila. When you meet her, you`ll have no idea she was ever down on her luck. Unbelievably loving, smart, cuddly and energetic, she is a Shelter Star. Honestly, we have no idea why she`s still here! She is a working breed, so make no mistake, she`s no slouch. But if you live an active, outdoorsy lifestyle and maybe have some hiking/running goals, you can have no better training partner than Sheila. She`ll also keep you company on the couch after you recover from your adventures. Come meet her today, you can even take her out for a `test drive` with our Dog for A Day foster program!
